Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of the Year !

 

                  

                                                     Heeeeeeeere Come The Tigers !

This Saturday on the Loveliest Village of the Plains, the best time of the year begins. Thousands of Auburn fans will gather around radios, TV sets, and at sports bars to watch the debut of the 2010 football season and cheer on their Tigers. Another 87,000 will have a family reunion at Jordan-Hare Stadium. I can hardly wait to renew old friendships, tailgate with family, and see my Tigers hit the field as the Auburn Band plays "War Eagle Fly Down the Field." The following lyrics are dedicated to all those Auburn Football fanatics, who like me, believe that college football season is truly the most wonderful time of the year.


                        College football is the most wonderful time of the year

                        College football is the most wonderful time of the year
                        With the kids throwing the football
                        And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
                        It's the most wonderful time of the year
                        It's the hap-happiest season of all
                        With those War Eagle greetings and tailgate meetings
                        When friends come to call
                        It's the hap- happiest season of all

                        There'll be parties for hosting 
                        Wieners for roasting
                        And listening to 'experts' in the know
                        There'll be great football stories
                        And tales of the glories of 
                        Great players long, long ago

                        It's the most wonderful time of the year
                        There'll be much tailgating
                        And hearts will be glowing
                        When our Auburn family is near
                        It's the most wonderful time of the year

                        It's the most wonderful time of the year
                        There'll be much celebrating
                        And fans will be cheering
                        When our team wins the game of the year 
                        It's the most wonderful time
                        It's the most wonderful time
                        It's the most wonderful time of the year...

                        For college football is finally here!

Ahh ... there is nothing like college football, for me and millions of others; it's the most wonderful time of the year. All the hype, the discussions, the prognosticating, the predictions, and the debate are all about to be settled, and where it should be settled - on the field. The long dark off season is almost over and the only real question left is  ...

Are You Ready For Some Football?

YEAH!

……Can’t WAIT! I’ve secured tix for the AU-LSU game on Oct 23rd. Maybe more to follow? Last season, the WVA game was it for me. Got soaked, but it was an AMAZING time! Reminisce here...

Acid.....

I won’t be able to make the LSU game but I do have a hotel room reserved and paid for on that Friday and Saturday night. Are you interested in using it? It’s nothing special I’m sure but I would hate for it to go to waste.

I've seen good TEAMS beat teams with great individuals.

Thanks,

……but I’ll be working Friday night and driving down on Saturday morning. There’s bound to be someone who can use it?

SO READY!!!

I can’t go to sleep I’m so pumped up. And it’s only Wednesday. lol

WAR DAMN EAGLE!!!

Not many

of my friends are as nuts about college football season as me. It’s good to know I’m not alone.

by UglyJoe on Sep 1, 2010 6:58 AM CDT reply actions  

I'm nuts too.

My wife says I qualify as a nut. I know I’m nuts about the Tigers. Nice post Tigerman. I’m definitely R E A D Y !

great stuff!...

i almost got in a car accident this morning. my car is jacked up and the undercarriage is being inspected as we speak. i know for sure it had something to do with a big ass truck in front of me trying to cross 2 lanes in a last second panic… but my head wasn’t where it needed to be either. i’ve been locked into this week for a month it seems. i drove off the road to avoid him and flew past him on grass and then jumped the side of the road to get back to work. you got to do what you got to do.

somehow, i managed another 7 min. or so to work and safely to a garage.

as long as the car can drive… i will be in the S. endzone… LL section 16, row 29 on sat. night…
and nothing is more sweet.

be safe… and War Damn Eagle!

I' m glad ...

 … your OK Buddy. It doesn’t get much better than row 29. Not to high and not to low, just right. I’m a liitle low. I’ll be in section 15, row 22. I ’ll be looking for you.

Can't wait to see the new pump up video for the team AND the band.

Love it when the band takes the field.

Love it when Spirit or Nova circle the stadium.

Love it when team takes the field.

When they score, man does it give me goosebumps.

The time for AU football is here and I can’t wait.

WDE!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely.

I love the band

Everytime the band starts playing the tag intro into War Eagle it gives me goosebumps. Auburn has absolutely the best sounding and best marching band in the country. I would love to have a seat right next to them on game day. War Eagle! Game day is almost here!!!

Going to be headed down 85 tomorrow shortly after work to start my weekend in Auburn.

And I can’t wait. Getting through work tomorrow will be tough. I’ll have to check and re-check TET to get my fix throughout the day. I hope to see you guys and gals on the ground Saturday, celebrating live and on location on the plains.

Bodda getta bodda getta bodda getta bah!

Rah rah rah! Sis Boom Bah!

Weagle! Weagle! War Damn Eagle!

Kick ’Em in the butt big blue! Hey!

If you want to hang out with me and don’t know how find me, I’ll be with the guys running the Oklahome drill behind the baseball field Saturday morning at 7:45 AM.

War Damn Eagle! Its time for AU football!
